Staten Island, New York-based Craig Raucher has established a successful career as a sales management and marketing professional. In preparation for his career, Craig Raucher studied for his BS in business administration at Brooklyn College.

A senior college of the City University of New York (CUNY), Brooklyn College offers studies through several different schools, including the School of Business. Earlier this year, the college renamed its business school to honor Brooklyn College alumnus and prolific New York businessman Murray Koppelman. The CUNY Board of Trustees approved the name change after Mr. Koppelman contributed $12.5 million to support the School of Business in the past several years.

Mr. Koppelman’s donations will help the business school receive accreditation through the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business, a process that will eventually provide more affordable educational opportunities to students and facilitate faculty excellence. In addition, the donation will fund new campus resources, aid with faculty research endeavors, and support future educational seminars from industry experts and scholars.
